After successfully passing variables through AJAX calls via onClick to a PHP file and loading the results on the initial page, I now face the challenge of passing a variable analogously via onClick to a PHP file but this time I need to either open a new window or redirect the entire page with the passed variable included in the URL. This way, the query/results can be easily shared by sharing the URL which contains the variable, like 'xyz.php?var=xyz'
In my attempt to achieve this, I tried the following code snippet:
$("#submit").click(function(event) {
var category_id = {};
category_id['linkgen'] = $("#linkgen").val();
$.ajax({
type: "GET",
url: "generatedlink.php",
dataType: "html",
data: category_id,
success: function(response){
window.open('generatedlink.php');
}
});
});
However, instead of opening 'generatedlink.php' as intended, I actually want the variable passed via AJAX ('generatedlink.php?linkgen=blabla') to be accessed when the user clicks on a new window/reloaded page! Any help with accomplishing this would be greatly appreciated.
